Error during sbt execution: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space
Please help.

Answer 1

Your project needs more memory to be executed (that's what the java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space tells you). I have never used the typesafe stack, thus I don't know if it is possible to configure memory parameters directly.
But if you run Linux you can type
env JAVA_OPTS="-Xms512m -Xmx1024m -Xss1M -XX:MaxPermSize=512" <command>
where command is the command to execute your project (probably it is sbt). Of course, you can change the size of the parameters if you need more/less space.
